What is "milkshake"?

A milkshake is a sweet, creamy beverage that is typically made by blending ice cream, milk, and flavorings such as chocolate syrup, fruit, or caramel. The ingredients are blended together until smooth and thick, and the resulting drink is served in a tall glass with a straw. Milkshakes can also be topped with whipped cream, sprinkles, or other toppings to add extra flavor and texture. While traditionally made with ice cream, milkshakes can also be made with non-dairy substitutes such as soy or almond milk for those with dietary restrictions. Milkshakes are a popular treat at diners, ice cream shops, and fast food restaurants, and can be enjoyed in a variety of flavors and styles.
